BEGIN TO COLLECT GAS TAX, OCT. 1ST In the face of advertisements by the Standard Oil Co., dispatches from Sacramento, etc., naming Oct. 1 as the date when the new gas tax or two cents per gallon takes effect, District Manager Paul V. Allen of the Auto Club of So. Calif., declared that such a tax could not be collected because it was unconstitutional and because the regular license fee already had been paid by owners until Feb. 1. There has been a curious mixup over the tax. The A. C. S. C. officially announced that the tax would take effect Feb. 1. The Truck Owners' Ass'n. of So. Calif. declared it would go into operation on Sept. 1. The last day of a given month and the first day of the month immediately succeeding have been interchangeable dates on the part of many who are supposed to know. The tax will be collected by service stations, which already have done a rushing business in preparation for the fatal day, Oct. 1. Ranchers who use gas for purposes other than locomotion, dyers and cleaners, stationary plants, etc., are entitled to refunds on monies paid for gas, on presentation of sworn vouchers to State Controller Ray L. Riley. The tax is expected to produce $9,000,000 annually, and half of the receipts in each county go toward improvement of existing highways.
